Cirrus SF50 - Max Altitude FL310 IFR To Scotland | Flight Vlog

We depart Gloucester in the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet climbing to its highest operating altitude of FL310 flying through icing conditions on the way. The SF50 performs really well at altitude especially as we were only 500lbs below maximum take-off weight! Please do like and comment your thoughts - it really helps!

I’m a controller for part of the airspace you flew through and saw an SF50 on its way down to the Channel Islands today while at work. Didn’t know what it was so a quick search later I arrived here! Great video, lovely aircraft!

I don't exactly know why... but I just love the SF50... such a sleek, intuitive aircraft.

Every time I see a thumbnail showing a cockpit, I'm already expecting the Flight Simulator instead reality

Absolutely fantastic video! I have been a huge fan of the cirrus jet since it’s inception almost a decade ago when absolutely no one had anything like it. Now you see things like the Honda jet and the Flaris and stratos trying to come in their own with one and in my opinion they don’t hold a candle to the sj50 especially the gen2. So glad you made this extended IFR video not many are on YouTube especially over Europe! Awesome job! I wish rolls Royce came out with a light jet like Honda and cirrus since they have been making fantastic engines for aviation since before ww2. In my opinion nothing sounds better than a roaring rolls Royce Merlin engine on a spitfire blazing thru the skies

As a non pilot with just a bit of sim time, these are really interesting videos showing the interaction with atc and adapting your fpl. The discussion between the two of you is also very helpful to explain your thinking. Also love the sf50

Wow. Just wow. Needed that, Ben! Take care and keep 'em coming!

I fly this plane on X-Plane 12 and it is a great way to learn the actual numbers for this plane. Thank you for this video. Just living my fantasies on the PC.

Wow, that was epic! I’m so glad I found your channel. Listening to the ATC I found the most complicated. Always pilot flying & pilot monitoring is the best way.

a dream for many of us! Thank you for vid!

Great video, Ben. It's a quirky looking thing, the Vision. Avionics are really cutting edge, I love the Garmin functionality. I am used to the NXi but all of the Garmin translate across quite seamlessly, I think.

I am not normally a fan of smaller jets (prefer turboprops like the TBM) but this is something I'd like to fly, it seems very intuitive and perfectly set up for even single pilot IFR.

Yet again, another great useful video Ben!

What an experience - I wish I wish I wish :-) Thank you for choosing to share it with us.

Those missed approaches look like fun! Always good to keep sharp with those! Really enjoyed this one - thanks!

Cool vid Ben, awesome little jet! More like this would be really cool 😎

[ThomasGrillo]

Sorry you weren't able to squeeze in the landing. Thanks for sharing. Amazing how dark the sky gets at 31K. :)

Awesome video Ben, really interesting flight!
